As part of the Company's ongoing commitment to creating a more inclusive cannabis business community, Gage will also donate a portion of its grand opening sales to the Canna Social Equity Fund, a non-profit organization affiliated with the State and Internal Revenue Service dedicated to funding comprehensive community development projects.

"Gage is proud to expand its reach in one of the most attractive cannabis markets in Michigan," said Fabian Monaco, CEO of Gage.
